When Trial Membership Get Canceled

Hi Jason

When a visitor sign in for lets say 1 week trial membership today and he/she decided to cancel it in the same day for some reason...would he/she be still able to access the site for the remaining week?

Thank You

Sam

Yes. In the routine that processes EOT Times,
a cancellation within a trial period would result in this calculation.
Code: Select all
if (!$last_payment_time) /* If there's been no payment yet.
After p1, if there was a p1. Otherwise, reg. time + 1 day grace. */
$auto_eot_time = $registration_time + $p1_time + 86400; 
So if a Member signs up for a 1 week free trial, and cancels the same day, s2Member will demote them exactly 7 days later. There is one extra day grace period after the Trial Period is over; just to make sure access is not denied sooner than a Customer might expect.

By popular demand, this behavior started with s2Member v3.3.2+. A Free Trial, is free. From a Customer's perspective, a Free Trial should not be dependent on their intention to pay. Thus, cancelling a Free Trial should not end their access until the Free Trial Period is over. Also, in some cases an Initial/Trial Period may have cost them something; it just depends on how your Button/Form was configured.
